“…These results agree with previous studies reporting higher prevalence of non-albicans species in patients with different predisposing factors (13,2). Probably, the imbalance in the microbiota favored the adherence of other species of Candida, which normally would not be able to adhere.…”

Antimicrobial therapy may cause changes in the resident oral microbiota, with the increase of opportunistic pathogens. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of Candida, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae in the oral cavity of fifty patients undergoing antibiotic therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis and systemically healthy controls. Oral rinsing and subgingival samples were obtained, plated in Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol, mannitol agar and MacConkey agar, and incubated for 48 h at 37 o C. Candida spp. and coagulase-positive staphylococci were identified by phenotypic tests, C.dubliniensis, by multiplex PCR, and coagulase-negative staphylococci, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp., by the API systems. The number of Candida spp. was significantly higher in tuberculosis patients, and C. albicans was the most prevalent specie. No significant differences in the prevalence of other microorganisms were observed. In conclusion, the antimicrobial therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis induced significant increase only in the amounts of Candida spp.

“…In the present study, a positivity of 30% was obtained for Candida in the control group and a wide range of Candida species was isolated from children who used inhaled corticosteroids, a condition that predisposes individuals to the development of oral candidiasis 15 . Martins et al 11 showed that the prevalence of yeast species isolated from the oral cavity of healthy children in the United States and Brazil was approximately 30% and 47%, respectively.…”

“…Komiyama et al 15 reported that the Candida yeasts isolated from the oral cavity of children represent 45% -65% of the total fungal isolates and that Candida albicans was the most frequent species in this region, as reported in other studies in the literature 4,[8][9][10]14 . In the present study, a positivity of 30% was obtained for Candida in the control group and a wide range of Candida species was isolated from children who used inhaled corticosteroids, a condition that predisposes individuals to the development of oral candidiasis 15 .…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of Candida albicans and non-albicans yeast species isolated from oral samples of children with AIDS and of children exposed and not exposed to HIVduring pregnancy and served by the public health system in a county located in the interior of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Methods Saliva samples from 50 children aged between 2 and 12 years treated by SUS (group I = control group, group II = group exposed to HIV without seroconversion, and group III = AIDS carriers) were collected, seeded in Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol, and fungal cultures were grown at 35 ± 2° C for 24 hours. Three isolated colonies were randomly selected from each individual plaque for identification using the API20 AUX Biomerieux® method. ResultsThe most frequent fungal species in samples from children not exposed to HIV, exposed to HIV, and AIDS carriers was Candida albicans (48.80%, 25.64%, and 58.13%, respectively). Species of Candida non-albicans were also isolated from all groups studied. ConclusionsDespite the higher prevalence of Candida albicans in these groups, non-albicans species represented a significant percentage of Candida isolates.

ResumoOs objetivos do estudo foram averiguar a frequência de fungos do gênero Candida na mucosa oral de crianças em relação aos fatores predisponentes como cárie, alimentação e higienização bucal e identificar as espécies de Candida ocorrentes nas crianças com cárie ativa. O estudo possui caráter descritivo do tipo experimental com abordagem de cunho qualiquantitativo. Foram amostradas 59 crianças com idade entre dois e doze anos, atendidas na Clínica Odontológica Universitária da Faculdade Maria Milza (CLIOF-FAMAM), com coleta de amostra da mucosa com swab no período de março a maio de 2014. Foi aplicado um questionário ao responsável legal acerca dos componentes comportamentais de cada uma das crianças e avaliação clínica odontológica para verificação do número de cáries ativas. A identificação das espécies de Candida foi realizada utilizando-se o meio de cultura cromogênico CHROMagar TM Candida. Das crianças avaliadas, 45,76% apresentaram crescimento de Candida, sendo mais frequente no sexo masculino com idades entre 8-10 anos. A maioria das crianças com cárie ativa apresentou, pelo menos, uma espécie de Candida, principalmente Candida albicans seguido por Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis e Candida spp. Verificou-se uma associação positiva entre a presença de Candida e de cárie e falta de higiene oral.Palavras-chave: Leveduras.

AbstractThe objectives of this study are: 1. to assess the frequency of the yeast Candida in the oral mucosa of children in relation to predisposing factors such as caries, food and oral hygiene, and 2. to identify Candida species in caries-active children. We adopted an exploratory and descriptive methodology within a quantitative and qualitative approach. Oral mucosa of 59 children aged 2-12, treated at the Comprehensive Dental Clinic of Maria Milza College (CLIOF-FAMAM), were sampled with swab from March to May 2014. A questionnaire was administered to the legal representatives to assess the child's behavior, and a dental clinical evaluation was performed to determine the number of active caries per child. Candida species were identified by means of chromogenic culture media (CHROMagar TM Candida). Forty five point seventy six percent of the children were infected by Candida, being more frequent among males aged 8-10. Most of the active-caries children presented at least one Candida species, mainly Candida albicans followed by Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis and Candida spp. A positive association between the presence of Candida and caries, and poor oral hygiene was verified.
